In a new study from Columbia University, researchers found that brief pulses of ultrasound delivered to nerves near the kidney produced an effective drop in blood pressure in people whose hypertension did not respond to medications.
In the procedure, called renal denervation, daytime blood pressure after two months had dropped 8 points compared to a 3-point drop in patients who were not treated with the procedure.
Nighttime blood pressure decreased by an average of 8.3 points in the treatment group versus 1.8 points in the control group.
These results suggest that renal denervation has the potential to become an important add-on to medication therapy.
